How did I do?

Here was my to do list from last week: In the Kitchen: - soak, cook and can pinto beans    - soak, cook and can black beans - organize pantry - take inventory of pantry - pick up co-op order on Tuesday Housekeeping: - target room this week is living room      - take down and wash curtain      - vacuum couch and recliner really well      - go through what is in and on end tables      - rearrange what is on shelves - maintain rest of the house Crafting: - finish sewing stuffed animals for baby Carter, my mom and my sister - mail animals to my mom and sister - sew at least five more animals for craft fair on the 23rd of March - finish knitting booties for order from church So how did I do.  Not very good really. In the Kitchen:  got most of the pinto beans canned.  I still have some to process in pressure canner.  I did not even get black beans soaked.  I started to organize the pantry but did not take inventory.  I did pick up my co-op order.
